25 Best Bubble Tea near New Brunswick

“Akihi is a chain of boba shops, with this location being located right near the Rutgers University campus. It was quite spacious, with large glass windows facing outwards to the plaza that hosts other smaller shops.

The shop hosted a self service kiosk, which made it easier to order and find things, as this was my first time visiting this chain. The menu is reasonably priced, with standard boba flavors as well as serving snacks.

I got the Brown Sugar Brulee, which wasn't too sweet but had a nice flavor to it. We also tried the passionfruit tea (called the fruit party) and it wasn't too sweet but very refreshing as well. It is a good compliment after having a heavy meal and you need something that isnt too sweet.

Overall a good first impression at a boba shop I've never seen before.“

“The most real fruit I've had in a boba drink since the time I ordered a grapefruit tea in Tokyo in 2005 and they gave me the most pure, unsweetened grapefruit juice and pulp.

I ordered the grapefruit passion four season tea (light ice, light sugar) and it's *perfect*. Extremely flavorful without being too sweet or with no sweetness at all. There's tons of actual grapefruit and slices of lime.

My spouse got mango passion oolong and there's just chunks of mango and fresh mango juice in it. It's very sweet and overpowers the tea somewhat but that's just me, they're happy with it.

My only wish is that the dessert menu was more clearly posted.“

“If you like Hong Kong food, this restaurant will be a good choice. The three of us only had the Labor Day menu left to order. We ordered beef porridge and preserved egg and lean meat porridge, which were delicious. The porridge was cooked very authentically, almost replicating the taste of what we had in Hong Kong. The barbecued pork buns were so delicious that I forgot to take pictures. The appearance of the barbecued pork buns made me think that they were just a stuffed bun, but the fillings were amazing and tasted beyond expectation. The fillings of the dumplings are so much that they will explode, but the skin is as thick as a steamed bun, not the thin skin and meat as we imagine. I am not very used to it. Fried chicken wings are available everywhere in the United States, and there’s no comparison. In addition, what we like very much is the Hong Kong-style milk tea in the store. The boss has adjusted the sweetness. It is not as sweet as the Hong Kong milk in our impression. It is surprisingly delicious. Instead, it feels like Taiwanese milk tea. It turns out that the boss’s wife is Taiwanese. All in all, this store doesn't have any renovations, and the menu doesn't have very fancy dishes, but the food is really delicious. If you miss Chinese food (Hong Kong food) in the United States, this restaurant is definitely worth a try!“

“We love surreal and miss it now that it moved away from our area. No other ice cream place has the unique flavors and combinations of Surreal. The Earl grey Vietnamese coffee or the Matcha and Tarro flavors are the best.“

“Love Kaito! Every drink I've tried has been amazing, every time I go I have to get something new because of how good they are. The staff are nice and helpful. I wish they had more vegetarian friendly food but the drinks and food are still amazing.“

“Absolutely amazing service. My husband and I happened to come across from Staten Island where we are visiting his Grandmother (we are from Hampton, VA). Let me tell you this spot did not disappoint. Nestled in beautiful area, we’re welcoming faces, great customer service and the most amazing tasting Boba Tea! We will definitely be back when we are in the area again! We highly recommend you checking out Boba Time Tea!!!“

“I recently discovered Fresh O' Tea in Edison. They brew fresh teas and use freshly cut fruit. It's never been too busy when I’ve visited. Here's what I tried:
- Red bean milkshake - 4/5 stars
- Cheese Foam Black Grape - 5/5 stars
- Pineapple buns heated with butter - 5/5 stars
- Kiwi Mango Green Tea - 5/5 stars
- Creme Brulee Milk Tea - 4/5 stars
- Grapefruit Orange Green Tea - 4/5 stars
- Pineapple buns heated with fresh taro - 4/5 stars

All their teas are freshly brewed, with a focus on tea-forward Hong Kong teas. My husband was surprised by how strong the tea flavor was in my HK Creme Brulee Milk Tea without sugar; he thought it needed 30% sugar. The tea uses evaporated milk, giving it a luxurious creme brulee taste. Surprisingly, they don't offer milk substitutes.

The staff are very friendly and make excellent recommendations if you are ever unsure of anything. They do take pride in making their drinks for you as they explain they brew their own teas and there are no powers utilized to make their drinks and snacks. There aren’t many tables, but there is a stage with available seating. Since it wasn’t busy during my visits, I had my pick of seats.

Parking can be tricky, but there’s more parking in the back, which is safer and makes it easier to pull out onto the street.

“Amazing drinks!! Dairy free alternatives and fantastic local pastries. Love Bubz!!“

“It’s a nice place seat with my friend~ they have board games,like uno🥰“

“I’m so sad that their Manhattan store closed. The owner is one of the kindest, sweetest, hard working people I’ve met in NYC and I miss Mi Tea already. After my second visit already he’d remember my favorite order even if there were weeks in between my visits :) Their coconut milk with mango pudding is the best! I highly recommend this store!! Even if the owner doesn’t work here, you’re putting your money in the right place by supporting this store!!“

“Akihi is amazing! I tried the crispy chicken and I’m absolutely in love with it. Also had the Oreo waffle and the double chocolate waffle — they completely stole my heart! This place has such a cute vibe and cozy seating. It does get really busy, but honestly, every minute is worth the wait. I’m obsessed — love this place“

“Great my favorite place to get the Boba tea“

“Have tried YiFang a couple times, but ultimately the only good drinks here are the fruit teas. So get the fruit tea, not boba. The boba topping has no brown sugar flavor at all and the teas are very weak. I do appreciate the owner's hard work but there are other boba spots within Edison that taste much better at a lower cost. Sunmerry bakery in the same plaza does boba for a better price.“

“My favorite bubbletea place, they always do a great job.“

“Love all their milk tea drinks!😋“

“awesome food, went in for bubble tea and came out with banh mi and BBQ sticks last time and now bubble waffles 🧇 sssooo goooddd!!!!“

“They make the best bubble tea by far“

“We have been coming to Okie Pokii for years but this time I have to leave a review. Food are still really good. There's a promotion for free snow ice or waffle with $50+ purchase and dining in. We picked the mango snow ice. We thought it was just going to be a small sample sized snow cup, but it's not! It's a full massive size (look at the picture). Kids were so happy about it ? the flavor was also very good ?“

“Tiny location, packs a pearl.... comedy. ?I love their Thai Tea Boba and their waffles are amazing ?? whether you like croffles or their house made (?) batter. All smoothies I've had have been delicious as well as their Dolgona(hope I'm spelling that right) coffee boba! SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS??tons of parking btw!“

“I had a really great experience visiting Egypt Oasis today with my two children. The staff was so friendly and attentive. And the owner Mo introduced himself and was clearly passionate about his business. I was waiting on by Ella and she spent the time talking to my son about his sports. The business is very clean and they have so many selections. We all had the rolled ice cream but I noticed people in the store getting boba tea. There is much variety to choose from in a really cool atmosphere with cards at the tables. We will definitely be back!!“

“I had been to this store after my friend told me very nice about it. I decided to have the delicious Tiger chocolate chip boba and I just loved it. It was so delicious and yummy. I would love to get it again. Service was very quick and good. The lady who helped us to give our order was so courteous and polite. I recommend this store and the most delicious boba…“

“We really enjoyed the genuine Ramin generous portions and quality ingredients. I would definitely come back here. The only criticism we had was the portion size for the eggroll said you were getting six pieces but what they really meant was three egg rolls cut in half so that was a little disappointing. Not much in the way of atmosphere but good enough for a warm meal.“

“I am very happy I took a chance on sunmerry. I’ve had sunmerry in Taiwan, and the products were very good there.

I ordered a taro pudding cake, and sunmerry delivered. The cream was light and airy, and not heavy/oily(like the frosting on the cakes at Paris baguette). The taro was actual taro paste, and the pudding was not overwhelming. It was the first time I finished a slice of cake with the frosting altogether.

I can’t wait to try more of their other cakes!“

“Big variety of great food! Love it! Highly recommended!“
